Tata Elxsi Launches TENMIC to Accelerate Automotive Innovation

Tata Elxsi Limited announced the inauguration of the Tata Elxsi + NI Mobility Innovation Centre (TENMIC) in Bengaluru.

In a stock exchange filing, the company stated that this state-of-the-art facility is designed to accelerate automotive innovation through advanced systems, software solutions, and global automotive expertise. The launch event was led by Manoj Raghavan, MD and CEO of Tata Elxsi, Ritu Favre, President of Emerson’s Test and Measurement Business Group, and Drita Roggenbuck, VP and GM of Emerson’s Transportation Business Unit.

The event brought together senior technology and R&D leaders from global OEMs, top automotive suppliers, and semiconductor companies, underscoring the importance of TENMIC and the collaboration between Tata Elxsi and NI in advancing automotive development and innovation.

The automotive industry is rapidly evolving with the rise of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and the integration of digital technologies. This shift necessitates quick innovation to develop, validate, and release new features while ensuring reliability, safety, and performance.

TENMIC is strategically aligned with these industry trends, allowing OEMs to “shift left” by validating performance and functionality through a mix of virtual and physical testing well ahead of production. Key to this approach are automation, agility, and the transformative effects of data and AI-driven methodologies throughout the product development lifecycle.

TENMIC combines Emerson’s advanced technologies from its Test & Measurement business (formerly NI) with Tata Elxsi’s expertise in automotive engineering, data analytics, and digitalisation. This partnership aims to deliver comprehensive automated solutions, including advancements in SDVs, autonomous driving technologies, and electric vehicle systems and batteries.

Commenting on this development, the Vice President and Head of the Transportation Business Unit at Tata Elxsi, Shaju S, said, “India is emerging as a global hub for next-generation automotive development with the presence of global R&D centres of the entire mobility ecosystem from OEMs to silicon vendors. The shift in vehicle E/E architecture, electrification, and connectivity is driving the need for advanced software development and testing capabilities.”

He further added, “Bengaluru, where both Tata Elxsi and Emerson’s Test & Measurement business are headquartered in India, offers the combined global expertise of the two companies to the entire world while enabling proximity to the thriving R&D ecosystem of global OEMs, suppliers, and technology companies in India. Our partnership with Emerson aims to drive innovation, design, and development, leveraging global expertise to create immense value for our clients.”

“Our partnership with Tata Elxsi to establish this mobility innovation centre for the automotive sector will enable rapid advancements in automotive technologies and validation, driving the industry forward and redefining the possibilities within the mobility landscape,” said Shitendra Bhattacharya, Director of Emerson’s Test and Measurement Business in India & ASEAN.
